The Gryphon Atomic DII G26 is built for senior field hockey players who want a stick that rewards early skill rather than raw power - the kind of player still shaping their game around trapping, deflecting and quick releases in the circle. DII is Gryphon's mid-range bow, flatter through the middle than the brand's more aggressive curves, so the stick stays predictable on the first touch and only tips into extra whip lower down near the head. The G26 head shape keeps that control close to the ground, which suits players working the ball in tight midfield spaces rather than smashing it from distance. It's a universal stick, at home on outdoor turf and just as comfortable brought indoors for a five-a-side. It comes in two senior lengths, 36.5 and 37.5 inches, so taller players aren't stuck choosing between too short and too long.

The Gryphon Solo DII is a senior field hockey stick built around Gryphon's DII bow profile, positioned as an accessible entry into their performance range rather than a top-tier pro model. The DII bow sits lower down the shaft than a traditional straight stick, giving players an easier time lifting the ball for flicks and aerials while still holding up for straightforward hitting and passing. G26 marks the specific build within Gryphon's Solo line, keeping the stick consistent with the rest of the range in feel and balance. It's aimed at senior players who want a bow-shaped stick without stepping up to Gryphon's Tour or Pro pricing. Available in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch lengths, it's built as a universal stick rather than one restricted to indoor or outdoor courts, so it moves between training on turf and general club play without issue. For a senior player choosing their first bow stick, or a club player replacing a straight-shafted one, the Solo DII is a reasonable place to start.

The Taboo XLB Indoor is a wood field hockey stick built specifically for the indoor game, where Gryphon's Taboo line sits as a more traditional alternative to its composite sticks. Wood construction gives a different feel through contact than carbon or fibreglass builds - typically softer on receiving the ball, with less rebound off the head - which suits players who prefer a classic touch on indoor boards. XLB marks the bow used on this model, and G26 keeps it in line with Gryphon's broader stick numbering. Built for senior players, it's offered in two lengths, 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch. Because it's wood rather than composite, it tends to suit indoor formats where the emphasis is on control and trapping rather than the hardest possible hit, making it a fit for players who grew up on wood sticks and never fully moved across to composite.

The NKD Supreme 70 is the higher-spec version of the Supreme low bow stick, built for senior players at an intermediate level who are ready for a more capable piece of kit than the 30 or 50. It keeps the same low bow profile as the rest of the range - the curve sits toward the shaft for reliable hitting - but the construction is aimed at players competing regularly rather than just training. Available in 36.5 inch and 37.5 inch lengths, two sticks of each size per batch. At 235 EUR it's the most expensive of the three Supreme low bow models and is built specifically for outdoor field hockey on grass or water-based turf.
